    Bear hunting out of state sucks

    Idaho spring bear Jason, I am also surprised that you went so early, considering the snowpack. I am planning on going over this Saturday and plan to hunt along the Lochsa River. From what I have heard most of the roads are still closed with snow. So I will be humping up the hills from the river...

    spring bear easier before or during rut?

    If I do not get drawn for spring bear in Washington I will likely do a spring bear hunt with my brother in Idaho. We had a good hunt there in May of 2003 and have a hankering to go back. I am curious though if there is any consensus as to whether or not the hunting would be any better or easier...

    elk size and range estimation

    I came across an interesting product. It is a rangefinder that attaches to the sight pin frame. http://www.deadonrangefinder.com/howitworks.html But there is a problem that I see with this device and that is that not all elk have the same back to brisket measurement. Kahles Optik’s website...

    peep sight location

    I just read an article in the August 2005 issue of Peterson's Hunting magazine about tuning your bow. On page 94 the article talks about peep sight positioning. It says that the peep sight should be located such that it is naturally in the right spot when one draws and anchors. That makes sense...

    which new bow for elk hunting?

    I am just starting to research new compound bows. I have a Martin Lynx Magnum that I bought new in 1993. I live in Walla Walla and Martin is located in Walla Walla so I do have some brand loyalty but if Martin bows are surpassed by other manufacturers then I will seriously consider another...

    elk jumping string

    Last night I watched a video on elk hunting. Some of the hunts were bow hunts with the guide calling in the elk for the hunter. On nearly all of the shots the elk ducked as the hunter released the arrow. I noticed that the elk was usually looking at the hunter because the guide was calling to...

    Non-typical Safari adventures

    JJ, did you shoot the Aardwolf? If not, why not? Are they protected due to their rarity? What are the trophy fees on the Genet, Civet and Caracal? Rufous.

    The 12 gage does it again!!

    That is most exciting. I would love to have such a close encounter. I would pistol whip it though, Rufous.

    Rufous' 04 WA bear

    I have been out several times this fall after bear. Every time I have been out except one I have seen bear. A couple times it was a sow with cubs and other times the bear was much too far away. Well this last Sunday evening I went out again for a hunt. I headed out on my own and at 5:30 saw a...

    My SE AK black bear hunt

    Following is the story of my first Alaskan Black Bear hunt. This hunt was in the works for about 3 years before I finally pulled it off. The major difficulty was finding someone to go with me. Boise (Rick) agreed to go so we started the major planning several months ago. We left Boise, ID...
